Notes
- serving size is the amount of one zucchini made into fries- about 1 cup
- Low carb and keto option: use pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs
- Vegan-option: use dairy-free shredded cheese.
- Shape zucchini into any shape you like. They can be cut into bigger sizes or round in shape.
- Use any breadcrumbs of your choice.
- Any oil spray will do if you don't have avocado oil spray.
- Shred your own parmesan cheese is possible
- If you don't have an air-fryer you can bake these at 400F for 18-20 minutes or until crispy.
- Air fry them in batches.
- Serve with any dipping sauce like ketchup, ranch dressing, or marinara sauce.
